Live cattle futures were up roughly $2.55–$3.40 at midday Monday, while feeder cattle futures gained about $6.10–$7.00. Tyson announced that it plans to restore the second shift at its Amarillo plant, with the shift expected to be fully operational in summer 2027; last week's cattle slaughter was below both the previous week and the year-earlier level.
The restored shift could boost packer capacity and demand for fed cattle, providing support to cattle prices. The futures gains were also occurring alongside weaker recent slaughter and mixed wholesale beef prices.
